Me (bass) the drummer and keyboard player would lock down on something and just groove during warmups. Never, without fail, the guitar player would come in and try and find a spot to get his licks in and every damned time it was just horrendous. Oh the dude could play Kansas tunes backwards and forwards and ran diminished scales all day long....but goddamned the guy couldn't find the groove with a flashlight and a map.

We did a gig and he couldn't make it. Hired a sub. During warm up the sub locked in and threw down something that sounded like it was lifted from a James Brown record that never got released. Spent half the first set just jamming on that. Later that night the bandleader approached me and said "I think I know what you're getting at now."

The Soul Murdered was fired shortly after.

Years later I walk into a bar and he's playing "Two Tickets To Paradise" and the first thing I think is "Well, at least he knows where his comfort zone is." I swear that dude played nothing but Eddie Money, ELP, Skynyrd and Steve Miller tunes the whole night.

Poor guy, I was thinking Soul Murderer would be a helluva metal band name.

That dude would have been a perfect metal player. There's nothing wrong with him, it was just a bad fit for the band. He had the 1-3 white boy stomp down cold and the rest of the band was top-shelf for booty shaking funk.

"Soul murder is achieved by a combination of torture, deprivation, and brainwashing." But that's not all she's suing over: The suit also lists child endangerment, torture, conspiracy against rights, breach of contract, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

The supernatural-sounding term "soul murder" diminishes the credibility of the specific claims. It makes brainwashing and conspiracy against rights seem likely to be manifestations of the same paranoid delusion in which "soul murder" is a thing. The same claim with "intentional infliction of emotional distress" in place of "soul murder" would sound a lot better.

Okay *sigh*. Just because I'm a psychiatrist, I have to weigh in here and say that "soul murder" was a term used by Freud, that was expanded upon by Dr. Leonard Shengold to describe a kind of child abuse (usually but not always incestuous) resulting in an adult patient's complete inability to experience joy. This does not apply to spousal abuse, so the lady is misusing the term.

durbnpoisn:They've been divorced for 12 years. And she's coming after him NOW?

Unless he is showing up at her house and beating her and her children once a week, I don't see how this is even possible.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the charges might be a tad exaggerated.

Also I think it'll take more that $60 million to bring a dead soul back to life.
